Installing Drupal

Hi,

I'm working on a development install of Drupal 7. It needs to be Drupal 7 to mimic a production D7 site we have now. That will be upgraded later.  

I have tried so many times and cannot get my Drupal 8 site to install.

I have put in the php.ini and .user.ini files to take care of the timezone as Europe/Berlin, but have one puzzle. When it comes to entering the site details country is required, and it is not possible to enter "Europe", so I'm wondering how I cope with this? It just doesn't seem to make sense to me.

Everything else is correct, mysql version is greater than required, I'm running on php7.4 and I believe that the PDOextension is enabled.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

we've currently got a D7 site with 2 languages NL and FR. The default language is NL with translations to FR. The problem with this setup is that when you change the original NL string, Drupal loses its link to the original NL string for the FR translation.

We are preparing a new D8 setup for the site, (not via migrate) so we have to opportunity to do a clean install and better language setup.

I haven't used Drupal in over a decade, but I've done 100+ sites in other ways in that time.

For the current project, there's a module that could well do just what I want and its functionality doesn't appear to be easily doable with open source, self-hosted software any other way. (There aren't many choices and the two main alternatives are either very complicated or way need more resources on the server.)

OK, get latest.tar.gz, expand it, create a database via the command line. Thinks..

A while ago I set up a test website in a subdomain (& subdirectory) of my main D7 website.  I use this to test out custom module code or theme alterations before deploying these on the main website.  It worked perfectly and was invaluable.  

Goodnight.

I would like to be able to use my own artifact repository, as a composer package proxy for drupal.
I use Nexus repository with composer, but With drupal repository not working ... has anyone had the same problem? How have you solved it?

Thank you so much
